TP-Link AC1900 Smart WiFi Router - High Speed MU-MIMO Wireless Router, Dual Band Router for Wireless Internet, Gigabit, Supports Guest WiFi, Beamforming, Smart Connect(Archer A8)

Product Information

AC1750: Routers having this specification can run at combined WiFi speeds of 1750Mbps. Usually, we have max link speed of 450Mbps on the 2.4Ghz band and 1300Mbps on the 5Ghz band (450+1300=1750Mbps).

The AC1200 model routers also have one band at 2.4Ghz and one band at 5Ghz with combined wireless speed of around 1200Mbps. high gain dual band detachable antennas and integrated high powered amplifiers for long range connectivity These wifi routers are ideal if your Internet speed is around 100 Mbps and you have modest traffic requirements such as normal video streaming, file sharing etc. AC1200 vs AC1750 Without replacing your existing devices or buying a whole new WiFi ecosystem, OneMesh™ helps you create a more flexible network that covers your entire home with TP-Link OneMesh™ products.

What speed AC do you recommen? AC1900, AC2200, or AC3000 Cable modem speed with router and at least with 2 LAN ports For my Laptops. The rest are wireless. These wireless speeds are ideal if your ISP internet speed is at least 300Mbps and above and you have some heavy traffic such as HD video streaming, online gaming etc. AC1750 vs AC1900

Nowadays, in modern homes with 4K streaming, online gaming etc, I wouldn’t recommend anything lower than AC1900. The WiFi Access Point (or WiFi Router) which all the clients connect to. This is the core component responsible to route the wireless traffic from clients towards the wired network (Internet etc).Moreover, MU-MIMO will be working bi-directional in AX standard, while this is only one-directional in the AC standard. This will improve performance and wireless capacity. When looking to buy a new WiFi router (or a complete mesh system) customers are faced with some technical jargon and specs that it’s hard to understand (unless they are tech-savvy people). Therefore, AC3200 is not the maximum bandwidth you get on one wireless band or frequency, but the sum of all the available bands or frequencies. The maximum speed you could get is 1300 Mbps on the bands 2 and 3, and only in laboratory conditions, which we will explain later. To give you an even better understanding, here’s how modern routers are categorized when it comes to bands or frequencies:

The newest version of the standard is the IEEE 802.11ac which utilizes the 5Ghz radio band (in addition to the original 2.4 GHz band used by the previous 802.11 standards). The main idea to remember is that the AC naming convention doesn’t tell you the real-life speed of the wireless network that you get when buying one WiFi router or another. If you have read our article, this naming convention tells you other things like whether it is an expensive router or not and how many bands it has. How do I find the real-life speed of a router before buying it? This will answer the question about the meaning of the numbers after the ACxxxx spec. (e.g AC1200, AC1750, AC1900 etc). The above bandwidth speeds represent the combination of link speeds on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radio frequency bands which the AC devices are emitting signals. As shown from the points above, there are some pros and cons of both frequencies. By combining the two bands in routers (dual-band and tri-band models) you get the best of both worlds. AC2200 vs AC3000

One key aspect of the calculation that results in an AC naming is the number of bands or frequencies on which the router emits the wireless signal. Let’s take a modern and popular router as an example: NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200. This router has three bands, each of them with its maximum theoretical bandwidth: 600 Mbps for Band 1, and 1300 Mbps for Bands 2 and 3. More Reliable Coverage: Achieve the strongest, most reliable WiFi coverage with Archer C80 as it focuses signal strength to your devices using Beamforming technology and 4 antennas. The AD wireless standard has been published in 2012 and although it has been in the market for a few years it hasn’t yet received much support from manufacturers. Numbers are based on testing conducted by the USB-IF and your computers are required to also support USB 3.0

We have mentioned a lot the two frequency bands that AC WiFi routers operate, namely the 2.4Ghz and the 5Ghz bands. Dual-band and emit WiFi on two frequencies: 2.4 GHz (which is slower but with a larger coverage area) and 5 GHz (which is faster but with a smaller coverage area). You see two wireless networks being broadcast. The majority of modern routers are dual-band they have up to AC2900 in their name. Their pricing varies a lot, but it tends to be accessible for most people. The AC wifi standard has been embraced by almost all WiFi router manufacturers nowadays. The most popular router manufacturers/brands that implement the AC specification standard are: Networking companies measure the wireless bandwidth using specialized networking software and drivers that are optimized to work with the latest standards and technologies. Therefore, wireless transfers are made at the maximum speed possible. Many computers and gadgets often use older software and operating systems that don’t work as well with modern WiFi networking technologies. Your drivers may also be outdated. System Router up to 100 MBps Cabe modem up to 250 Mbps. System works fine other than VIZIO Smart TV has buffering at times when using Sling TV. Not as much using Netflix.For example, the Orbi AC2200 models (RBK30, RBK40 etc) use 1 band at 2.4Ghz (with max link speed of 400Mbps) and 2 bands at 5Ghz (with max link speeds of 866 + 866Mbps) I live in a 3000 Sq.Ft single story home. I had an ARRIS 6141 cable modem connected to a Netgear WNDR 3400 router. Manufacturers connect the smallest possible number of devices to the WiFi broadcast by their routers so that they measure its maximum bandwidth. In your home, you will connect more devices than they do, at the same time, limiting the bandwidth you get for each device. Advanced WiFi Features: Smart Connect and Airtime Fairness ensure your devices are on the best available WiFi band while ensuring old devices don't slow you down.
